Gambling Your Future?
Investing in the stock market without
experience and expertise is a lot like spending a day at the casino.
There
are always a few big winners, but--despite the slick advertisements and
boastful stories--no amount of painstaking research will enable anyone
to predict winning stocks with any consistency.
One mutual fund may exceed the stock
market averages for several years running--but overwhelming historical
data shows that such success is no different from a lucky streak at dice.
While gambling may provide a few
hours' entertainment, it's no way to invest year after year for your
financial future!
Along with
today's leading economists, Compass believes that index funds are the
"best bet" for investors seeking the highest expected returns for their
most comfortable level of risk.
